I want to go Long on current month contracts and short on the next month contracts by checking conditions on those particular contracts. I can do this on individual stock/ index using “Instrument Name” to select the appropriate instrument to compare with its own indicators.
However, if I try to use a list then the “Instrument Name” keyword disables the expiry selection sub-box. The “futures” keyword takes the near month contract by default and there is no way to alter it. The “Traded Contract” keyword presents None at the time of entry and all the data is None resulting in Error. (Checked with the use of OR)
So, how do I use a list (at present restricted to => NFO: Reliance, Maruti, SBIN) and be able to work with the next month contracts? Is it possible? Thanks, Regards,
Didn’t understand the issue. Are you talking about “Traded Instrument Name” and “Traded Instrument” keywords? Can you post screen short of the conditions you are using?
Thanks for the reply.
Futures keyword selects current month futures.
Instrument Name keyword does not allow next month futures if I am using a list. Each stock should be in diff SET and be called with Instrument Name expiry: Current Month + 1
Traded Instrument Name keyword results in Error if used as part of Entry conditions.
There will be multiple screenshots with multiple notification logs to post.
Hello,
Try this trick, it works.
In Instrument Name first chose a stock instead of list. Then select current month and in +nth Expiry enter 1. After doing this, change the stock selected to your list and then click on submit.
Whoa! I wouldn’t have thought of that solution in rest of my miserable life!
What a twisted trick that is!
You are a genius to come up with that plan.
I could enter the conditions targeting the next month contracts and they worked in paper trading.
Thanks a lot,
